Chapter 1000: Chapter 1000: Delivering Watermelons

The next day, after lunch, Shen Mianmian took a rest. Later in the afternoon, He Nan came to pick her up. Before leaving, she was a bit worried about Yang Xiaoxi, so she instructed Yang Xiaoxi not to go out after dark since she might return late.

Yang Xiaoxi, holding a huge watermelon, nodded like a bobblehead. After the entrance of summer, she almost scooped out half a watermelon to eat every afternoon.

Not long after Shen Mianmian left, Cheng Feiyang arrived, also holding a big watermelon. Seeing only Yang Xiaoxi, he asked in surprise, "Where’s Mianmian?"

"She went out," Yang Xiaoxi gave him a glance and continued to hug her watermelon.

Since they were familiar with Cheng Feiyang, there was nothing to hide. They spoke freely without treating him like a guest.

Cheng Feiyang had gotten used to it.

"Why didn’t you go out with her this time?"

It was strange for Cheng Feiyang to see Yang Xiaoxi alone at home since they were usually inseparable.

"Aunt Fu took Mianmian to some debutante gathering. It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to go," said Yang Xiaoxi casually.

Hearing this, Cheng Feiyang understood immediately. Seeing Yang Xiaoxi enjoying her watermelon, he placed his on the stone table and suggested, "This watermelon is much tastier than yours. Do you want to try this one?"

Yang Xiaoxi glanced and shook her head directly, "I’m already too full, just leave yours for now! I’ll eat it with Mianmian when she comes back tonight."

Good stuff should be shared with Mianmian.

Annoyed, Cheng Feiyang retorted, "I carried this watermelon here; shouldn’t I get to eat some too? You only think of Mianmian. Mianmian has Brother Nan, she lacks nothing."

Yang Xiaoxi hummed, "Then wait for Mianmian to come back, and we can eat together, right?"

For some reason, Cheng Feiyang felt like competing with her and started carrying the watermelon to the kitchen, "No way, I’m going to cut it and eat it now. I bought the watermelon; I decide."

"No way."

Yang Xiaoxi got up to snatch the watermelon from Cheng Feiyang’s hands. During the struggle, she lost her balance and fell backward. Panicked, Cheng Feiyang quickly reached out to grab her, and they both ended up on the floor, the watermelon smashing to pieces.

Fearing she might hit her head, Cheng Feiyang instinctively put his hand behind Yang Xiaoxi’s head as they fell. It was the first time they were so close that a slight lean from Cheng Feiyang could have resulted in a kiss.

The air tensed for a few seconds. Coming to her senses, Yang Xiaoxi pushed Cheng Feiyang away and sat up, "It’s all your fault. See, you ruined the watermelon. Now no one can eat it. What a waste."

Cheng Feiyang also felt that his actions had been somewhat childish.

"I’ll go buy another one later! Let this one be."

He attempted to stand up, supporting himself with his hand, only to wince in pain. Yang Xiaoxi glanced at his hand and realized it was injured.

Her tone softened, "Are you okay?"

She remembered that Cheng Feiyang had cushioned her fall with his hand, sparing her from any injury, which stirred an odd feeling in her heart.

Seeing her concerned expression, Cheng Feiyang felt the pain in his hand wasn’t that serious, yet he said, "It hurts quite a bit. I don’t know if the bone is broken."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoxi immediately became anxious, "Is it that serious? Let me take you to the hospital."
